Chelsea to bring in Rijkaard

Chelsea are ready to make a move to bring in Dutch coach Frank Rijkaard at the end of the season.

Chelsea stand-in boss Guus Hiddink has been in talks with the former Barcelona coach about the job, according to News of the World.

Hiddink wants to return to his job as Russian national team coach.

A source told News of the World: “Guus and Frank have had long discussions about the job in the last few weeks. It has been informally agreed Frank will step in during the summer.

“Abramovich wants Hiddink to complete Russia’s World Cup campaign — but there will then be the option for him to return to Chelsea and work in tandem with Rijkaard.”
